Benefits of technology
[0010]A firearm fire control assembly is adapted to be disposed in a forwardly placed, support-hand operative relationship within a firearm. The firearm has, in operative connected relationship one with another, a barrel and a receiver in a forward assembly, either or both of which is connected to a forestock. The firearm also has, in operative disposition therewithin, the following firing mechanisms: a combination of a firing pin and a firearm hammer adapted to engage and fire a cartridge within the firearm, a sear assembly to alternately engage and disengage the combination of the firearm hammer and firing pin, and a trigger assembly including a movable trigger mechanism that is operable to engage the sear assembly
Problems solved by technology
However, this extended, usually rearward length in these prior firearms also represents length and corresponding internal area/volume used only during the loading and unloading processes, and is otherwise substantially unused, relatively empty space during any other period.
In many firearm situations, this empty space has not provided any hindrance in operation or effect.
Either way, repositioning or switching weapons wastes a great deal of time in breaching situations and the loss of precious seconds could result in undesirable consequences.
Moreover, the connection of an otherwise conventional shotgun onto a parent weapon such as a rifle provides a very cumbersome and awkward weapon system.
Moreover, such an over/under or underslung connection of a rifle and conve

Embodiment Construction
[0036]Disclosed herein are compact weapons usable alone and / or as secondary weapons integrated with an operator's primary weapon. More particularly, the weapons herein described are typically shoulder-fired and / or two-handed firearms, having their respective receivers reduced in size, especially in length, to reduce the overall length of each firearm. This may be achieved in part by making the bolt or other breech closure or blocking surface or device of each such firearm relatively stationary and making the corresponding barrel forwardly movable relative thereto for loading and unloading. Also described herein are embodiments where the receiver, magazine and barrel of a firearm are joined together and all of these components being movable with / as the loading and unloading pump apparatus. Also described herein are alternative parts of the movable pump elements being movable to a forward position on the firearm. In some embodiments, the trigger and / or other fire controls, such as the...
